Large free outdoor screen on Millennium Square running daily, covering major sporting events, films, live theatre streams, and school group content. Children can play in nearby fountains in summer.

๐Ÿ† Funzaroo Verdict

Best for families attending a specific event - a major sporting final, a school performance, or a summer film - rather than a casual drop-in. The free, open-air setting makes it a low-effort outing when programming aligns with your interests.

โ„น๏ธ What to Know Before You Go

๐Ÿ’กCheck the programme before visiting - content varies widely by day
โฐBring folding chairs or a picnic blanket as no seating is provided
๐ŸŽŸ๏ธYou can bring your own drinks and food
๐Ÿš—Keep young children away from the pavement-level halogen uplights near the fountains - they get extremely hot

โ€œThis screen is great as it does have the big sporting events on show and had an enjoyable and pleasant afternoon watching the men's Wimbledon final on Sunday 14th July 2019, which was also the longest on record. The crowd were fantastic and added to the atmosphere and you are able to take drinks, snacks and it would be advisable to take your own chair but limited supplies were supplied by "we the Curious" The weather was fitting of the entertainment and good nature of the crowdโ€

โ€œThis is a giant screen on the side of the building showing a variety of sporting events, documentaries, information films, and so on. A nice addition to the square and in the summer a nice addition while the children paddle in the fountains.โ€
